S T Dupont Orient Express with GvFC Burnt Orange. No choice. The Onoto 3500 ran out of ink.

I've got a few dozen pens, but there are only a few in regular circulation for me today:

 

• Pilot Custom 823. I own two. I picked up one from Japan with the clear body, Fine nib. That's one of my daily users. I also have an amber body with a broad nib that was customized with an oblique grind and added flex. I rarely use it only because I've lost interest in flex. I'd very happily pick up another one of these with the oblique grind and no added flex.
• Parker Duofold Senior "Big Red". I didn't set out to buy this pen. It was a sort of accidental contest win from another group. But I find I'm really enjoying it and using it daily.
• Wing Sung 698. What a great value! This one is in my messenger bag most of the time, so when I need a pen away from home, I'm not going to cry if I lose this one.

 

EDIT: I did some more digging to ID the Parker. It's a 1926 model.

Today I'm using my Lamy 2000.

Bullet journaling today with my Pelikan M600, green striated, with "F" nib and Pelikan 4001 Royal Blue ink. As I bullet journal I use my old and trusty Deskfax Filofax. Later, when I'll practice my Italian, I'll use my Parker 75 with the "new" nib, to give it some use. It is inked with Diamine Majestic Blue.

Okay, I'll bite. What is an "ink pencil"?

Love the book, by the way -- I've had a copy of it for over 30 years, because a friend of mine dragged me (not unwillingly mind) to a lecture that Mark Drogin gave someplace.

Currently a Pilot Falcon SF with Iroshizuku Yama Budo. I can't really get into it. I think I'm gonna let it go.

 

Luckily I have my 823 M with me too!

My new today Conklin Duraflex. I like this pen! You can rip on that nib pretty good! Go from a wet euro fine to a paintbrush with no railroading. Its much better than my ahab and infinitely smoother. No complaints so far! Im glad to have it! Also worth mentioning, the nib is aligned to the text on the barrel. When capped, the clip is lined up dead nuts to the text on the barrel too. All that on a $60 pen!
